摘要

Purpose

This case report is to present the anatomical variation of ectopic pancreas and discuss about its clinical significance.

Methods

While dissecting an adult cadaver specimen, an ectopic pancreas specimen was found.

Results

The ectopic pancreatic tissue was located in the left lobe of the liver and the mesentery. After HE staining and microscopic observation, it was found that the ectopic pancreatic tissue contained ducts, islets, and acini, thus it was classified as Type I according to Gaspar Fuentes’ classification.

Conclusion

We report an atypical variation of ectopic pancreas, which is located in the left lobe of the liver and the mesentery. This may be associated with certain digestive system diseases such as dyspepsia. The findings of this study can provide insights for the clinical diagnosis of digestive system diseases.
